Humira Lawsuits April 1, 2011 AboutLawsuits Add Your Comments Potential side effects of Humira may increase the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening injuries, including fungal infections and cancers, as well as a possible risk of permanent nerve damage that may result in multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis, optic neuritis, neuropathy or other problems.

HUMIRA NERVE DAMAGE AND VISION PROBLEMS Adverse event reports have suggested that Humira may increase the risk of nerve damage, which could cause: Optic Neuritis or Vision Impairment Multiple Sclerosis Transverse Myelitis Neuropathy Lawsuits over Humira have alleged that Abbott downplayed the risk of nerve damage from Humira, including a risk of Central Nervous System (CNS) demyelination and harm to the optic nerve. While other drugs in the same class, such as Enbrel and Remicade, contain warnings about the risks, Abbott has not provided adequate warnings to physicians and consumers, which could have prevented serious injury and permanent nerve damage. During clinical trials, at least three cases of demyelination with Humira use were reported, compared to no reported cases among those taking a placebo. Of those nerve damage problems, two involved optic neuritis on Humira, which could result in vision loss or sight problems. In addition, an analysis of FDA adverse event reports during the first two years Humira was on the market identified at least 9 reports of neurological problems with Humira, including two cases of optic neuritis. Since that time, a number of similar Humira problems have been reported. It is widely accepted that the number of such problems reported to the FDA likely only represent between 1% and 10% of all actual adverse events. HUMIRA CANCER SIDE EFFECTS: A study published in the May 17, 2006 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) indicated that Humira side effects could increase the risk of developing cancer. Warnings have been added to the prescribing information about the possible cancer risk. In August 2009, the FDA announced a Humira black box cancer warning after investigating the potential association between Humira and Lymphoma and other cancers among children and young adults using TNF blockers. Approximately half of the cancers seen in children and young adults taking TNF blockers were lymphomas, including bother Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which is a cancer of cells in the immune system. Lymphoma is not a recognized complication of JIA (Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis) or of Crohn’s disease. Other cancers reported included leukemia, melanoma and solid organ cancers. HUMIRA FUNGAL INFECTIONS: A number of users who were receiving TNF blockers, such as Humira, have experienced fungal infections, such as histoplasmosis, blastomycosis and cocciioidmycosis. In several of these cases the infection resulted in death. In September 2008, the FDA issued an alert to healthcare providers to provide new information about the risk of Humira fungal infections. At that time the agency also indicated that new information will be added to the Humira black box warning to ensure that doctors and consumers are aware of the risk, especially for those who live in or visit areas where fungus is prevalent. Unfortunately, many cases of fungal infections from Humira go undiagnosed by doctors, since the symptoms are similar to the flu. Symptoms could include cough, fever, fatigue, loss of weight, sweating and shortness of breath.

So sorry to hear about all of the problems your facing from taking this drugs that should help rather than add to your growing list of medical problems. My Rheumatologist suggested I begin Humira or Embrel ASAP, but after reading these comments, only ONE person on the whole list has benefited from Humira — I’m definitely going to pass!!!! I’d rather have RA and live!! Than take this medicine and be in worse shape than when I started! I’m in my early twenties, I have quite a lot to look forward to!!! Not worth the risk to me, AT ALL!!! Thanks again everyone! Donnie September 21, 2009 I am a physically fit 33 year old law enforcement officer who took humira for less than one year for RA. Last May, prior to taking humira, my annual physical was perfect. Three weeks ago, I was diagnosed with stage five kidney failure. I am in the process of receiving a kidney transplant. If anything can be learned from this, make your doctors check blood and urine at least quarterly to detect this issue before it gets too far. Karen September 21, 2009 I have been on humira for 3 months and have had several lesions grow, including a mesenteric lesion, complex ovarian cyst and a bone lesion, since taking it. I already had something benign happening in my nodes which was probably contraindicated for a drug that is linked to lymphoma. I also have a hard time walking and it’s gotten worse while I was on the humira. At times, I’ve had to use a walker and lots of time, I’ve had to use the cane. I’m off the humira now so I can possibly have surgery for all my lesions. I am in pain and tired, but my head is clearer and I feel like I’m no longer living in a pond of quicksand. Sherry September 28, 2009 I was diognosed with RA one year ago and after trying Methotrexate and others my Doc. put me on Humira in April 09. I went into complete remission and felt better than I ever felt until late July when I broke out in pustule psoriasis on my feet and hands. It was so bad I had to wear house slippers to work because I could not walk in regular shoes. I went to a new RA doctor who immediately said it was a reaction to the Humira, and he sent me to a Dermatologist to get treatment for it. The dermatologist said it was just plain ole psoriasis and Humira was a treatment to go home and take my injection….within 24 hours the pustules and blisters have came back with a vengence and I am back where I started. My new RA doctor was right and it definitly is a reaction to Humira. If I had came to this site before I may have saved some money on Doctor visits…..Now to find a new treatment for the RA that worked as well as the Humira without the terrible side effects… Sarah October 6, 2009 I have had RA for 30 years. My doctor convinced me to try Humira. 4 hours after 1 shot, my legs began to swell. I called my Rheumatologist and was told that I was having a flair-up and to take steroids. I argued that it was more serious than that – but was spoken to like I was a child, or worse, a hypochondriac. I ended up in the emergency room the next day and was told that the swelling was from my sciatica. I went home and suffered with a leg that swelled up 10 inches in diameter. I could not walk, was vomiting, had a fever, had lumps on my legs. I went back to the emergency room a week later to be diagnosed with bilateral blood clots from my ankles all the way to my lungs. I also had a intramuscular hematomoa in my pelvis the size of a hot dog roll. It has been 5 weeks and I am still in bed – slowly recovering. I have now been told my kidneys are not working well. This drug is horrible. I am lucky to be alive. I hope a lawyer decides to sue Abbott Labs on all off our behaves. Ken October 12, 2009 I have had Crohns since 1983. I am 50 years old. I finally decided to try Humira since I have only 5 feet of small intestine left after 2 surgeries. I discovered after a GI series i year ago the Crohns was back. After the 1st few 2 months on Humira I had another GI series done and the Humira was helping a lot. Last Sunday 10/4/09, I had a seizure. I am not sure it is from the Humira. I am getting tests done but worried. I am researching Humira and seizures. David October 16, 2009 I was diagnosed with ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS about 7 years ago. I just turned 50. AS is horribly painful, but I have been managing it with anti-inflammatory meds – 15mg of Meloxicam (generic Mobic) and 3 grams of sulfasalazine daily. Also, the occasional weed to take my mind of it 🙂 My rheumatologist recently suggested Humira since I have been complaining about increased stiffness and pain. After reading the stories here I have decided that things have to get MUCH worse before I would consider a TNF med. The side-effects are just too scary. This has been a real struggle for me, but I suppose we must all play the cards we are dealt. I wish folks well in their own battles. Mary October 20, 2009 I have RA and have been on Humira for 3-4 years and have had no problems with it. Rheum Dr. put me on methotrexate and that made me really sick- could not leave the house for work- even lowering the dose of it did not help. I read all the paper work that came with my humira but have not had any side effects. Guess I am blessed Terry October 21, 2009 I have been on Humira since Dec.2009. I have psoraitic arthristis. It cleared my skin, my joints no longer hurt or swell, my deformity in my fingers and toes has stopped. it has been a miracle drug for me. My blood test are all positive! I found eating healthier food and getting exercise, particulary stretching helps alot! Andre October 27, 2009 My mother began taking Humira for RA. A short while later developed Mantle cell Lymphoma. RA Doctor recklessly advised her not to worry about the potential cancer side effects stating it was a one in a million chance. His downplaying convinced her to take it. Now we are dealing with the consequences. Abby November 3, 2009 I have recently had two episodes whole body hives, body turns very bright red, dizzy, awlful burning hands and feet, and swollen hands in the middle of night. The first episode included swollen throat and breathing difficulties. These occured about 10-12 days after taking Humira. I have been told that since it did not happen with 10 minutes – 2 hours after an injection that it is not Humira. But I have read it has a 14 day 1/2 life. Been taking Humira now for 1 year. Has this happened to anyone else? Stefanie November 6, 2009 I have been on Humira for about 6mo before that I was on Embrel(6mo). I initially got relief from the Humira for my RA but the last 2 months I have been having some of the symtoms metioned. The foot fungus on one foot only and toe nail fungus. My jointts are feeling worse especially my knees, left knee keeps swelling. Pain that feels like it is deep in my bones, neck pain, memory loss. I want to stop the medication but am afraid of what will happen If I do just stop. Will I have a seizure?? Heather November 9, 2009 I have had Crohn’s disease for over ten years now, with an average of two to three flare ups a year. Have been on several rounds of prednisone and now have bone loss as a result. After a couple of years on Azathioprine I had lymph node swelling, malaise and it had lost its effectiveness on the Crohns and I suffered a flare up that had me couch bound for months. My specialist intimidated me into taking Humira last May. The Humira HAS relieved my Crohn’s symptoms 100%; but I wonder, at what cost? Since being on it I have progressing joint pain in my knees, elbows, toes and fingers; sometimes excruciating if I move the wrong way. I’m always tired, and often have trouble concentrating and suffer severe bouts of depression. I feel helpless, as both my specialist and family doctor refuse to believe it’s the humira and treat me like a child. Now, I have been very, very sick with the flu for over a week. The gland in my right jaw below my ear has been sore and stiff for months now, but the doctors dismiss that as nothing. At one point, the gland was so sore I wasn’t able to eat. I wonder what has to happen to my condition before the doctors allow me some leeway in choosing my own therapy. I feel like a guinea pig. My specialist is intimidating, but I don’t dare lose him as I will not have another one in this area. I feel like a prisoner in my own body. Leslie November 9, 2009 I’ve had RA since 1985 and was on methotrexate for over 20 years with excellent results. Then it began to be less effective with more and more flares. Then I was on Humira for 4 months then developed “pneumonia” in October 08. Stopped Humira immediately. Antibiotics would stop the symptoms but they would return after a week or 2. Doctors tried different antibiotics including infused with same result/ Pulmonogist checked for acid refux thinking it might be aspirated pneumonia. Then a brochosopy that had negative results. Pneumonia returned again and doctors thought it could be the methotrexate so quit that altogether. That worked for a couple of months so Humira was continued after 8 months from the original pneumonia. And returned to Humira for 4 months. All this time I had excellent energy level, no fever, no chills, no pain, etc only coughing with typical pneumonia spit up. In October 09 developed pneumonia again this time with difficulty breathing. All this while having regular visits with my rheumatologist. She knew I was being treated for pneumonia but never once suggested it could be the Humira. The pulmonologist decided to do a lung biopsy and I have stage 4 non Hodgkins large B cell lymphoma. Why didn’t the rheumatologist suggest the pneumonia could be related to the Humira. I think the pneumonia was actually the cancer. All I ever heard from her or her office was to be careful about infections. kathy November 19, 2009 i was on humira for about 6 months last year..i stopped using it because i had a severe flu like cold every couple of weeks and developed diverticulitis…i had no idea that a medication could do something like this..it has been a year since i stopped the humira and am sick all the time..it seems like it may have ruined my immune system..where should i start to find out what is causing all this sickness..i go to the doctor and they treat the syptoms and it comes back after 3 weeks or so…everyone keeps making comments..like your sick all the time..i feel so weak and tired and tired of complaining… Teri November 19, 2009 I am 44 and was diagnosed w/ JRA when I was 17. I was on Humira for 2 years. I had to stop medication before having a left carpal tunnel surgury. When I tried to go back on the drug all hell broke loose. I developed right side, my appendics were removed with some kind of abnormal growth on it. My nose swelled and I had nasal inflamation went to ent he performed surgery to remove excess tissue that completely covered my nasal Pharnax. After that I developed Shingles, 6 times. I stayed off all RA drugs for almost a year. Then they put my on Orencia, Got shingles twice and felt as if my symptons increased so had to stop it. Now I am finacally broke from meds. I have a hard time finding anyone who knows my drug and it is very frustrating when you have side effects and know one cares. Then you read all of this and I know many people are dealing with the same thing. David November 20, 2009 While being treated for psoriasis ( embrel injections) i contacted follicular lymphoma.Now being treated at md anderson . maureen November 20, 2009 My daughter age 37 years has tried all medication which bad side effects for her chronic AS. She is now on humera. She is suffering with flu symtons, and is now feeling so tired. Her ears are affected. Iritis in both eyes. One eye now blind. She is having the injection every 9 to 1o days and feels so unwell. I see her suffering and do not know what to do or where to go. Can anyone suggest what to do or who I can see before it is too late. Of course the doctors say they do not know what to advise. Just keep taking the Humera, they said, because there is nothing else. Susan November 23, 2009 My husband began taking Humira in June of 2008 for his AS, which he has had for more than 35 years. He also takes Mobic. Within the first month after taking Humira he noticed muscle weakness. He also began left arm tremors within weeks of his first shot. In May of 2009, his lab work showed he has hypercalcemia, hyperparathyroidism and polycythemia. The pamphlet for Humira shows parathyroid disease as an adverse reaction to the meds. He now has a tumor on his parathyroid that needs removed, the calcium is leaching out of his bones into his blood and urine. He has also noticed a shortness of breath. He feels like he is aging rapidly, yet also has received so much pain relief from the Humira that he is reluctant to go off it. His doctor suggested he change from Humira to Enbrel. billie November 30, 2009 ive been on 6 different pills and they made me sick. ive been on humira, orencia which made my blood prussure go to 254over225. i just quite embrel it makes me feel offel and i have briises all over me. now im told i dont have arthitirs i have fibermalga and should have never been put on the medacations. what can i do? Iris December 13, 2009 I was diagnosed with RA and the doctor prescribed Humira. After reading all the negative comments about Humira I decided not to take the medicine. Why will someone take a medicine that side effects are worse than the illness itfself. I will be looking for a naturalist instead of taking this toxic medicine. So sorry for all of you who contacted cancer, fungus, and Ms. This doesn’t seem right. I don’t understand how the FDA allows these kinds of medicines in the market Kathy December 16, 2009 My husband was on Enbrel for a couple years and his doctors decided to prescribe Humira. He took the first dose on December 18, 2006. He mentioned to me several time that he didn’t feel “right” after the injection. On January 21, 2007, he died. I will always believe he would be with me today if he hadn’t taken that first and only dose of Humira. kaycee December 16, 2009 after reading comments on this site i am still so undecided about taking enbrel as i have it sitting in my fridge ready to use and really hoping for some relief from my RA what do you think female 44yrs. HanooN December 17, 2009 I’m 29 years old diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in 2007 was in Ramicade for about 8 months, developed allergic reaction to it . I was put on Humira since August 2009. I noticed my memory is weakening, I forget many these, flue like symptoms. I feel this memory loss linked to Humira .I ‘m always sharp until, I started Humira. Any thoughts? What would it happen if I suddenly stop Humira ? I sara December 17, 2009 I have been on Humira for about 3 years, with no problems, these are like any other “drug” unfortunetly no doctor can know how a patient will react to these or any other drug. Im sorry for Kathy’s loss, but for me the Humira is a godsend for my RA. My close friend takes enbrel and it has done wonders for her. For some its a miricle for others…not. They cant pull it off shelfs if it helps so many . Kaycee I too are 44yrs. and female Elle December 22, 2009 Dan, yes I have experienced problems regulating my temperature since taking Humira. I often feel like I am overheating and I never experienced this prior to taking this drug. I am so relieved that I saw your comment, because I’ve been thinking I’ve been all alone with this. I can barely tolerate summer months anymore. It has affected my ability to do sports or workout. I have also experienced chronic sinus infections and ear infections since taking the drug. I stopped Humira in Feb. 2008, after taking it for 7 months on a weekly basis. Lewis December 25, 2009 I took Humira for a year. I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Mantle Cell Lymphoma and given six months to live. I had a Stem Cell Transplant in 2007 but still suffer over this drug. Are there enough people out there willing to file a lawsuit over this drug causing these cancers and killing people? If there are, let us know and we will start the case. Sheri January 1, 2010 I have RA and was prescribed Humira. I had a severe psoriatic reaction that I’m still working on fixing. It’s been 7 months. Have had to take painkillers since this started. Afraid of what to do next. Jason January 9, 2010 I have crohn’s disease and have been on Humira for 2 years or so. Originally it did a good job, but now it doesn’t do much. And I have developed a bad cough. I am a theater singer so this cough interferes with my performance sometimes. I am thinking of discontinuing the Humira since it doesn’t help anymore. Graeme January 10, 2010 I took Enbreal for a few years with average results. My doctor started me on Humira in 09. In Nov 09 I was diagnosed with GBS that I am still going through. Switching from Enbrel to Humira was the only change in my life. Has anyone else heard of GBS cases caused from Humira? Kristi January 12, 2010 I have been on Humira since Sept 2009. On Christmas I started feeling stomach pressure,bloating, and extreme hunger, and exteme back pain. For two weeks the docs thought it was GERD related to my ulcerative colitis. I finally had pancreatic enzymes done and they were thru the roof, CT scan revealed Pancreatitis. I am 27 years old and not a big drinker….how would I get pancreatitis?! I am convinced it is from the Humira, Azathiorine and Cortecosteroids. Has anyone else had these issues?? I am about ready to tell my GI docter that I am stopping the Humira immediately no matter what he thinks, before I get any other side effects from this. GailC January 12, 2010 I started Humira on July 8, 2009 and at that time all of my blood work was normal. Blood work done on November 17th showed a remarkable increase in my liver enzymes which continued to increase over the next several weeks. A liver biopsy was then done and I have been diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. I stopped Humira after the blood work done on the 17th and my enzymes leveled off on the blood work done on December 28 before starting medications for the autoimmune hepatitis. I have found one case study on the internet where Humira has been linked to autoimmune hepatitis and am wondering if any one else has experienced this problem? kimberly w. January 14, 2010 After failed MTX therapy due to liver damage, I began Humira injections, 40 mg every 2 weeks in 8/2009. In November 2009 I became very ill with MRSA (skin and systemic) so my PCP and Rheumy took me off my Humira and Plaquenil. So, not DMARDS or TNF blockers for me at this juncture. Sucks!!!!! graeme January 19, 2010 I took Enbreal with average results. My doctor started me on Humira in 09. In Nov 09 I was diagnosed with GBS in late 09 that I am still going through. Switching from Enbrel to Humira was the only change in my life. Has anyone else heard of GBS cases caused from Humira? noeleen January 26, 2010 im am a pa sufferer am on humira every 10 days took embrel before it almost finished me i find humira very good of course your immuns system will be low on it but im monitored with bloods and im vigalent with any infections id be lost without humira cyberpie January 29, 2010 My daughter who just turned 21 is on humira, she has had no symptoms and her plaque psoriasis is totally gone, she only takes a shot once a month, may I ask how many shots a month were most of you taking? and by the way when the Dr. started her on Humira he never told her it was a study, is this ilegal? Patricia January 29, 2010 how many shots a month are you guys taking? Unknown January 30, 2010 I work as a case manager for Humira and heard a lot of great things about it. Yes, every medication has it’s side effects. When I speak with patients, it seems like they can not live without this medication. Many people say “Humira is GOD sent”, some patient stated that they were bedbound and now they are able to walk. I am sorry to hear that Humira did not work for some of you, but i hear great things about Huimra on a daily basis and I am proud to work for this product. Christine February 6, 2010 I just took my 79yr. mother to see the breast surgeon, and she will have surgery Feb. 16,2010. My mother has complained of shortness of breath, rash on her nose and cheek, and the docters just ignore this. Mom called me this morning and said she is not taking her Humira, due to all the effects she read, and believes this med has caused her cancer and all other systems, I truly hope that by going cold turkey will not cause additional problems for her…Never once did the doctors take her complaints seriously Linda February 6, 2010 My friend just phoned me from the hospital – He has Chrons and also some joint problems with it,now severe abdominal pain. He went to the ER and upon examination they find generalized diverticulitus. He is asking me to find out if he can take steroids (they are suggesting this treatment) along with Humera which he has been on for about 4 months. He felt great at first with the Humera but now doesn’t. Does anyone know if steroid tx is safe with Humera? Gary February 14, 2010 I developed severe plaque psoriasis at 12 years of age and severe psoriatic arthritis at 17. I’m now 56. I’ve had every poison used by the medical community to treat psoriatic complications and have had numerous surgeries for joint replacement and joint fusion. I’ve had numerous skin cancers to deal with as a result of ultraviolet light therapy. I was on Enbrel for 5 years and was switched to Humira after it stopped working. I’ve had extreme rashes break out from head to toe, with a clear fluid ozzing from my pores. The docs at the ER tried to tell me it was psoriasis. Bull! I’m an expert on psoriasis, much more than they are. My lungs have been filling with fluid over the past 3 months. I have no faith in any of the doctors and would advise everyone to be their own advocate should you have one of the diseases Humira is being used for. Scour the internet, read everything. Keep an open mind and don’t blindly follow or listen to the typical MD bull s*#@. They really don’t know and can’t honestly answer any questions regarding these TNF drugs. We ARE the guinea pigs, even though these drugs are labled for our diseases. The problem I see is that there is nobody to track these many varied complaints and sort out what might be connected to this drug. The Abbott Pharm Co. should have an online board or forum, staffed by knowing specialists, where all of these complaints can be compiled or addressed. My insurance pays the $2,376 each month for Humira, so I know they got the bucks to treat our concerns and listen to what we have to say. But no…they’ve already calculated what the class-action lawsuit will cost them and have set the price of the med to cover this and still give them profit. I’m 2 weeks past-due for my injection and I’m having a hard time taking it. True, it has helped me have a few “normal” years without the torment, pain and heart-breaking agony caused by psoriasis. But, ultimately, I now must decide if I want to go any further down this road and perhaps pay with my life. There are to many unexplained or unaddressed side effects. Wish me luck, because that’s all I’ve got. John February 19, 2010 I have been on humira 2.5 yrs. every other week dose, severe pain in feet and various other places since last summer. Problem walking general moving at times, nite sweats at times too and lump in throat hard to swallow. Struggle through work. Noticed extreme problems few days before next dose. Doctor says: must be an increase of my crohns symptoms so now on weekly dose since last November. Now, feet pain, swelling ,wrist hurts, hands hurt, feet numbness. asked to see neurologist. I have noticed 1 website saying humira can lead to MS. Scared of my future and ability to work. 49yrs old Katrina February 19, 2010 Linda- I was on Prednisone (steroid) and was put on Humira. I have been taking both for about a month now and my GI believes it to be safe & I have not had any odd reactions with the 2. I hope this helps. shirley February 20, 2010 I GOT VERY ILL IN JUNE 9,2009. IN FOR A TOTAL KNEE REPLACE,ENT. THE DOCTOR FOUND OUT THAT I HAD DEVELOPED AN INFECTION. SO I WAS PLACED ON ANTIBIOTICS FOR 8 WEEKS, BEFORE THE 2ND SURGERY OF THE KNEE. IN JULY 24, 2009, I HAD SURGERY. THEN AROUND AUG. I DEVLOPED AN EYE INFECTION. WENT SEVERAL DOCTORS NO CURE.

FINALLY THEY CAE UP WITH INFECTION CALL GRANDUAL IMFORMATION. I WILL GO BACK TO PALMER EYE INT. IN APRIL. BUT THE LUMP IS STILL THERE. Jovial February 23, 2010 About 9 years ago I was diagnost with RA and have been on different kinds of medications to treat this disease. Kineret,methotrecate,steroids and Humira. The first three medicians did not work and my doctor put me on this Humira. At first it seem to work but at times I would feel alot of pain in my knees and have swelling around my ankles. Then I broke out in hives, itching all over my body then find out I got this fungal infection and could hardly breathe and was hospitalized over night from not breathing. All this took place after being on the Humira Katie March 8, 2010 I have scleroderma, raynaud’s phenomenon, blood clotting disorder and maybe have lupus.I have had iritis for over a month now.The Rheumatologist wants me to go on Humira he said that is the only medication left to cure the iritis.I had my doubts about the meds but when i called abbott to hear the side affects of the drugs ,i cried just thinking about taking this dangerous and deadly meds. I think i would rather lose an eye as to take this killer drug. Thank you all for your comments and the vital information on the page. freddie March 9, 2010 My mother participated in clinical trials and was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma and was dead in a year. The shortness of breath, body aches and many of the other symptoms discussed were among her symptoms. She suffered multiple symptoms and extreme pain. I wouls suggest not taking the drug despite what the doctors recommend because they are not experiencing these devastating side effects. It is hard to find a lawyer who will except the case because no one has broken ground yet but the class action lawsuit will come it will just be to late for those who suffered first. But you know there are many blogs out there with people saying the same thing may be we should unite and a lawyer will take us all on or at least take it to our politicians and make them listen. marion March 10, 2010 I have pa and have tried metho – no work and now I have been on Humira for 3 months. I have diffivulty breathing and have had a urine infection which has been treated with antibiotics and is not getting better. My ra wants me to try enbrel next – after reading all you comments I think I will just tough it out with my pa and hope I have not done serious damage taking the Humeria. Good luck all from this very scary drug and I agree it should be pulled from the shelves. PPS My pa is so much better after being on Humeria but the rest of my body is not. kristy March 11, 2010 My fiance has Chrohn’s diesease. he has been on steroids, and other medications they started him on Humira the 25th of February which was just a few weeks ago his second dose would be due on Friday the 12th. He has had to ER visits one for more stomache problems with his Chrohns and this last he was diagnosed with phenmonia and pleursy which is all on the right side. He does not smoke. Has never had any breathing issues or problems before. They are treating him with iv antibiotics again. And he is still in the hospital as of today. March 10th. When I calledinto the humira hotline. They passed me along 2 more times. The last lady I spoke too wanted to call his gasterentoroligist and see if he thought it could be caused from the humira injections. After looking online I have come across more instances with his exact symptoms after others took this medication. As of right now he is not going to be taking his second dose of the humira as his family dr. is against it at this time. But we re not sure what his gasterentoroligist will advise next. After some of the things I have read I am terrified that this may only be the begining of side effects from this drug. We have yet toi wait and see. kristy March 11, 2010 I forgot to mention he was also showing signs of bruising and muscle weakness before his episode with the phnemonia and pleursy. I called in and they had told me that was common for the muslce weakness and not to worry abut the bruises unless they got bigger or we noticed tiny pinprick bruises.
